I want a drink of alcohol. But I'm in my 2WW, so I'm skittish about it. I know that millions of babies have been conceived after a night of drunkeness, but in my mind, I still see that list of things to avoid given to me by my RE. And alcohol is on it. So I get some OJ and pretend there's some vodka hiding within. It almost works.
For the record, I rarely drink alcohol, regardless of a list telling me no. But it's guaranteed that when I enter the 2WW, like now, I will want something I really shouldn't have.
Screw the list, why can't I have alcohol, you ask? Because on that list of things we should avoid to up the chances of conceiving, it's mentioned that alcohol can affect implantation since it's thought that alcohol decreases progesterone (that's bad). Likewise, caffeine is on that list, since there are thoughts in the academic world that the consumption of caffeine affects the cilia in the fallopian tubes... those are the tiny hair-like things in the tubes that gently move the egg down into the uterus. A low-GI diet is also encouraged, as well as stopping smoking, and establishing a constant exercise routine. Fun times *roll eyes*.
Anyway, I didn't want to get too into studies and stuff. I just wanted to vent my frustration over the fact that while I'm doing everything I can to promote conception and failing to date, some crack whore alcoholic is getting knocked up for the 5th time with some random guy who will disappear after he gets some.
Yeah, I know I don't HAVE to do what is suggested on the list, but I do anyway because I really want a baby and will do quite a lot to get one... even if it does make me a little bitter over things I shouldn't do. It'll be worth it in the end. And then I can go get blasted (2 drinks for me because I'm a lightweight).
Sorry, this is kind of all over the place. It happens sometimes.
